Abstract

This chapter reviews comprehensively the theoretical and explanatory models of addiction, evidence-based approaches and principles intertwined with the humanistic foundations of addiction treatments.

“Why are you drinking? - The little prince asked. - In order to forget - replied the drunkard. - To forget what? - inquired the little prince, who was already feeling sorry for him.

- To forget that I am ashamed - the drunkard confessed, hanging his head. - Ashamed of what? - asked the little prince who wanted to help him. - Ashamed of drinking! - concluded the drunkard, withdrawing into total silence. And the little prince went away, puzzled. ‘Grown-ups really are very, very odd’, he said to himself as he continued his journey.”

—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: The Little Prince
